SOH CHO 7 - 9

SOH CHO 7 CHARM CITY

CHARM CITY will be in collaboration with beloved Galen DeKemper, writer and founder of Dollar Stories.

SOH CHO 7 will serve as Galen's newest Dollar Story debut. As he reads chosen excerpts, his skate videos will play via projector and immerse us into the streets of Charm City, Baltimore. Attendees will draw him and his momentous, prized possessions, using this very Dollar Story as a sketchbook.

TWIST~! A chosen attendee’s drawing will be used as this story’s book-cover. O MY~!

SOH CHO 8 ON QUEUE

during ON QUEUE, soh cho will guide you through drawing exercises designed to challenge you to burst out of self-imposed isolation with a curated playlist that transcends the boundaries of genre, time, and personal taste.

SOH CHO 9 WHEN WE GROW UP

SOH CHO 9 is our closing class of 2017. WHEN WE GROW UP will be a commemoration of each individual and of our founding effort to 'shine the spotlight on our talented peers.' Jamaican artist Ebony G Patterson is this session’s inspiration. As she eloquently explains about her encrusted artwork, 'I’m hoping by slowing the viewer down in these experiences, to pull the viewer in to see further and raise questions about how we engage in the act of looking...' we hope to commemorate each attendee's lived experiences of surviving and thriving, through storytelling and story-listening, that may otherwise go unseen.

While answering a question about your identity assigned to you by the chance of Spin the Bottle, your peers will draw a snapshot of you in that present moment. We will use portraiture as a tool of commemoration and encourage documenting heard words and sentences that stand out to you.
